Wishing Cup’s Wholesome Surprise for Families Battling Cancer in Boston

October 27, 20251 min read

Wishing Cup surprises families with kids battling cancer by bringing coffee, drinks, pastries, and more for them to enjoy in Boston.

Wishing Cup isn’t just about serving delicious coffee, matcha, and light bites. Every sip and bite supports a wish and makes an impact that goes far beyond the plate.

Each month, our community votes on real wishes submitted by people like you. Anyone can write down a wish, drop it in our wishing cup, and at the end of the month, we bring the winning wish to life. No catch. Just kindness.

At the end of August 2025, we granted our second wish, which was near and dear to our hearts.

August's Winning Wish

August's wish came from a Boston resident who volunteers at Christoper's Haven, a local nonprofit that provides housing and support for children and families undergoing pediatric cancer treatment. She shared that many families and staff members would really enjoy a nice breakfast that is different from what they are typically served.

Thanks to our customers' continued commitment to the community, we delivered fresh coffee, pastries, and other sweet treats and drinks to family members, workers, and children at Christopher's Haven at the end of August.

So, next time you're in Boston, visit us at Wishing Cup. Order a drink, write down a wish for yourself, someone you love, or the entire community.
